Netanyahu Speech Sparks Large Protests in D.C.

A viral video showing maggots and crickets at the Watergate Hotel in Washington, D.C., where Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is staying, has sparked speculation of a pro-Palestinian protest, although this has not been confirmed. Netanyahu's visit to the U.S. has led to significant protests and high security, with hundreds of demonstrators arrested for protesting against his congressional address and the ongoing war in Gaza. House Speaker Mike Johnson has enforced strict rules against disruptions during Netanyahu's address, warning that any disturbances could result in arrests. The protests have involved a diverse group, including Jewish and Palestinian activists, demanding an end to U.S. support for Israel. Despite significant opposition, Netanyahu is scheduled to address Congress amid Israel's ongoing conflict with Hamas.
